Well I disabled sound like you said but a second after i did, it froze. I took off sleep manager,realplay,and ezicon from the Ctrl,Alt delete thing but I still left on Atiptaxx, Ati2cwxx,Ati2plxx,and of course I left on explorer and systry. Those three (Ati) things I don't know what they are. And I turned off any power saving features and I upgraded to the newest video drivers from IBM I did'nt erase the resolution file for CM but I know it's runing at 800x600 and my screen res is set at 1024x768 at 16bit high color. and I have a Lan Pc card installed I
don't know if that makes a differance. But it's still locking up.
